OXALACETATE DECARBOXYLASE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Oxaloacetate Decarboxylase from Pseudomonas sp. has been used in the digestion of?the low molecular weight (LMW) human milk fraction (5kF fraction) and as a positive control for deciphering C. thermocellum oxaloacetate decarboxylase activity.

General Description

Oxaloacetate decarboxylase or OAD functions as a Na pump in anaerobic bacteria. It is a membrane protein consisting of three subunits, α, β and γ with the α subunit containing the carboxylase activity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Oxaloacetate Decarboxylase catalyzes the decarboxylation of oxaloacetate and requires manganese and magnesium for its activity. It is associated with a wide vareity of Gram-negative bacteria.
